Archives: Clean Food

Last week for Rosh Hashanah I made a mixed berry tart from Terry Walters book Clean Food. I promised to give you the recipe so here it is:

Crust:
1 ½ cups teff flour
¼ teaspoon sea salt
1/2 cup maple syrup
¼ cup grapeseed oil

Filling:
5 cups fresh or frozen mixed berries
1 ½ cups clear apple juice
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 tablespoon agar powder
2 tablespoons arrowroot
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preparing crust:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place flour, salt, syrup and oil in food processor and pulse to combine. Pour mixture into 9-inch oiled tart pan. Press down to form crust. Pierce several times with fork and bake 15 minutes until lightly browned. Remove from oven and set aside on wire rack to cool.

Assembling tart:
Fill tart with berries. In medium pot over medium-high heat, combine apple juice, syrup and agar. Whisk continuously until agar dissolves. Slowly sprinkle in arrowroot and continue whisking until mixture thickens and no clumps remain. Add vanilla, remove from heat and set aside to cool for 5 minutes. Spoon evenly over tart and refrigerate 1 hour or until set.

This was really delicious and everyone really enjoyed it!
The pictures are below but in my rush to finish and transfer the tart to upstate New York I forgot to take a picture of the final product!! Sorry.

“Be nourished by the fruits and beauty of nature and make every day a celebration of the rhythms of the seasons.” This is such a wonderful quote taken from Terry Walters book Clean Food. This book, which I have newly discovered by perusing the aisles of Barnes and Noble as well as remembering that a friend had mentioned the name a few weeks back, has become a new love of mine.

Clean Food is a wonderful book filled with insight into the world of eating whole foods that nourish your body and soul. This is right up my alley! And, in fact, Ms. Walters attended the Integrative Institute of Nutrition, which is the school that I am now attending! I’m so excited that this information is becoming more and more available as people’s eyes become wider and they begin to realize that they’ve been exposed to chemically changed food that has been poured into their bodies for many years.

That’s why us health counselors are here to help! We want to help break your unhealthy habit and not just for a month but for your lifetime.

Look for Clean Food by Terry Walters at your nearest book store – you won’t be disappointed. There are some amazing recipes that I will definitely be blogging about in the near future – check back often!

Have a wonderful day
